I went into the writing center about two weeks ago for another session as a client. I really like the Bessey location, it's close to my home and near all of my classes (3 out of 4 being in Bessey Hall).
I brought in a rough draft of a short informational paper. The tutor I worked with was very friendly and asked me a lot of good questions. When I came in, I had wanted to concentrate on the arrangment of my paper and she drew my attention to other ares such as word choice. There were a few phrases that I thought sounded intelligent but were somewhat confusing to the reader. I decided to eliminate those phrases and re-write them to organize my information clearly. She did tell me my arrangment was clear and logical, which was what I was somewhat worried about. It always helps to have someone else look at your paper. Sometimes I get so involved in what I am working on it's hard to look at the overall product. I did read my paper outloud for her and found one grammatical error, something I had overlooked. I was only there for a half hour, but I felt it was a fairly productive session.
